Q. What are the benefits of ISO 14001 certification?
All organisations have some kind of environmental impact. ISO 14001 goes simply beyond guidelines preventing organisations getting into trouble for infringing environmental legislation. In such an environmentally conscious World, organisations need to be more than simply reactive and the ISO 14001 standard allows organisations to do this, with return-on-investment.
As well making a powerful statement about their organisations environmental credentials, ISO 14001 compliance means organisations are:
Better managing environmental risks, now and in the future
Increasing access to new customers and business partners with competitive edge
Demonstrating legal and regulatory compliance
Potentially reducing public liability insurance costs
Continually improving which helps drive more efficient use of raw materials
Enhanced environmental performance leading to cost reductions
In addition, ISO 14001 is designed to be compatible with other management system standards such as ISO 9001 (Quality), OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety) and ISO 27001 (Information Security). All or any combination of these complementary standards can be integrated seamlessly. They share many principles, so choosing an integrated management system can provide you with outstanding value for money.
